Frend Rational and Enemy
Friend, Rational and Enemy!
"Freunde Sind Die Menchen mit Gleichen Weltanchauung!" Arthur Schopenhauer
[Friends are the people with the same opinion]
The theory above should be interpreted; in general it is assumed that the two people, who live together in the same environment, are mutually friends, enemy or indifferent. Feelings of a person are individual. Feeling can be reciprocal or not. Behavior of a person, in the closed environment, depends of the character, of the convenience, of the level of the culture and of the category of the culture [personality]. Therefore we have; "the one that the person is"; "the one that the person wants to act"; and "the one that the person, in the reality, acts". A person can be friend of an acquaintance without the acquaintance to be friend of her; this same person can think the acquaintance is friend of her, that he is indifferent or that he is enemy. When an acquaintance agrees [she has the same opinion] he speaks "in a friendly way." In the case that the person wants to swim in the sea without the life jacket, and the acquaintance doesn't agree, he [the acquaintance] acts "in a friendly way", but he doesn't speak "in a friendly way". When the acquaintance helps the friend, without being requested, he cannot expect the gratitude. In the case that an acquaintance's sentence is friendly and it is seems friendly; this doesn't represent the rule, and it is not interpreted, obligatorily, by the person, in this way. The acquaintance that disagrees, but doesn't want to convince is not enemy. What generates hostility is when the acquaintance wants to teach what is contrary to the person's conviction.
The largest degree of hostility is generated, by the attempt of teaching something, which is against the [congenital and unalterable] instinct of the person. The healthy human being's instincts are in quality very superior to the instincts of the animals; in amount they still overcome more the instincts of the animals; this refers to the decent men [artig]. The degenerate ones [abgeartet] lost certain instincts; they are "rational". The degenerate ones lost certain genes; they act as reptiles; which [reptiles] don't have the instinct [gene] of preservation of the species. The genome of the human species [of all decent men] is in 99% equal for all.
The justice, the faith, the solidarity, the honesty and the morals feeling in general are irrational [instinctive]. The "rational individuals" supply the lack of instinct with reasoning; "Justice is what corresponds the law!" Correctly the law should be derived of the moral and no contrary.
A "rational" acquaintance is never friend; but he speaks "in a friendly way". A con artist is "very convincing"; he is seemingly a brilliant artist; in the reality he doesn't have any feeling and observing the person's feeling he mirrors this [feeling]. He has many friends; but he is not friend of anybody. The capacity to speak "in a friendly way" and the hypocritical positivism pleases people and help to win the trust of people.
Example of superficial judgment, based on the appearances is the judgment that the historians do of the three emperors; Tiberius, Caligula and Claudius.
"Tiberius was a bad man; he forced all relatives to work."
Caligula was a bad man he ordered to spy the relatives and friends and he didn't invite to the festivity the ones that didn't bet, in the race, in Incitatus [horse of him].
Claudius was good man; he ordered to execute all of his cousins, his nephews and his own wife."
Therefore we have friends, enemies and indifferent. The indifferent ones are the "rational" ones and the ones that don't have contact [knowledge] enough with the person. The" rational" ones appear to be friends.
